FALLING LEAVES 2022, WEEK 6:

Today I return (mostly) to my standard format. Here's the pond view from our back deck:

Compared to the view from 2 weeks ago, the foliage is mostly gone. We've had some high winds in the last week, and nearly all the leaves have dropped. The leaf blower has been working overtime to keep leaves clear for the grass. Here's the last red tree of the season.

It's already lost some brilliance, and leaves, in the wind. Next week I expect it to be brown (or bare).

The forest on the south side of the house is mostly protected from the wind so the leaf fall hasn't been as spectacular as around the rest of the house. These, too, should be gone by next week if the temperatures remain below average.

Now for some pictures from around the house:

It's been cold, but beautiful

This one of the fire pit was actually taken earlier in week, just before we started seeding between the barn and fire pit. From the week before the leaves went from green to brown.

Here's the view of our new lawn, which is greening slowly.

The house, taken from slightly downslope. All the low lying brush is gone so we have good views downslope toward the pond.

And finally, our neighbor's cat Wanda as we walked the dogs this morning. She frequently goes with her dogs on their walks.

Till next week....
